PROHIBITION IN DAKOTA.
An Active Campaign by the Enemies of the
Liquor Traffic.

An Active Campaign by the Enemies of the
Liquor Traffic.
CHICAGO, May ga special from Fargo,
d. T., says: While the entire Territory is
to vote in November upon the question Of
division as provided by the Legislature,
that matter is almost lost sight of
in the agitation over prohibition. The
Legislature enacted that each county
might vote on the license question
upon petitions of one-third of the
voters. Local option or prohibition con
ventions are being called in nearly all the
counties outside of the Black Hills and the
new railroad sections, and it is claimed
that in nearly every one the requisite
names will be secured and prOhibi-
tion carried. It is believed this will
be 50 the case even in Cass County,
which has some seventy saloons,
severab breweries and a large wholesale
liquor business. Fargo has this among its
largest interests and its extinction is an
ticipated with much concern. A general
prohibition campaign is being inaugurated
and it is believed that nearly sixty out Of
eighty counties will vote out the liquor
traffic next November.

monkeys and birds all have occasion

cetious and often of a practical nature.
He mentions the testimony of gentle
man owning a parrot which had been
taught to spell dog" The bird is al

his pet to be actuated by mischiev.

Turning To the bird he said; NO
Poll; that is not right. Dog, dog;
that Is right Dig, dog; bow-wow, "
returned the parrot, and after repeated
corrections he would say nothing diff
ferent. Finally, he concluded his joke
by declaring: .'Wcll, its no matter,

had never before been known to attempt.
Going one day into a bird-fancier's
shop. Mr.. Beard noticed a scarlet macaw,
